The Golden Rule of Christianity
“Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12).
When the Lord told the lawyer to love his neighbor, he mistook it for his neighbor, and was blind to the idea of loving the Lord, the neighbor before him, and thus gaining eternal life (Luke 10:29).
It is said that loving one's brother have eternal life. But who is this brother who, by loving his brother, knows that he has passed from death into life?
Does loving a human brother to death have eternal life?
It is the Lord Jesus Christ, the singular brother (1 John 3:15).
By loving Christ, the singular brother, we have eternal life, and we become to love our brothers in the plural (1 John 3:16).
Christians put up a sign on the wall saying, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and call it the Golden Rule of Christianity. This is the same teaching as other religions.
Would the Lord, who said, "Ask, seek, knock," then tell us to treat others as we would treat others?
In the sermon on the Mount, the Lord never says anything common sense, including the Lord's Prayer.
It is a treat to God. It is the cord total of the law and the prophets. He is Christ.
The law and the prophets foretell the time of Christ.
The Word who came in the flesh is Jesus, the Son of Man.
He is not one born of the earth like Adam, but the Son of Man from heaven.
And just as in the sign of Jonah, after he died on the cross, rose again, and ascended to heaven, the Word came into us through the Holy Spirit, and he became Christ, the anointing.
Jesus is the name, and Christ is the office: king, prophet, and priest.
On the Mount of Transfiguration, he showed them all the glory that would come, but those in the flesh saw only the physical Jesus, and the Christ within him was recognized only by Peter, and no one else.
So how can we know where you are going and the way?
It would be good if you showed us the Father.
What does it mean that in a little while you will no longer see me, and then a little while later you will see me?
Even Peter asked, "Lord, where are you going?" (Quo Vadis).
When Christians start teaching and criticizing others, their growth stops.
However, if they constantly seek, fine, and knock, the Holy Spirit will come, revealing the door of life and opening the sheep gates, allowing them to receive life and grow into good trees.
Such people build their houses on rock, so they are fine even when floods, and winds blow.
That's a fundamental problem.
However, if a house is built beautifully on sand, on people like the sand on the seashore, then it will collapse severely when rain, floods, and winds blow (Matthew 7:27).
The problem here is that those who build on people are dressed in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are like ravenous wolves (Matthew 7:15).
The false prophet who comes up from the earth is like a lamb, with two horns and speaking like a dragon (Revelation 13:11). Those who dwell on the earth will be deceived and ensnared.
Therefore, it is crucial to be united with his death on the cross and his being raised through Christ, to be caught up to heaven, and to be confirmed as a heavenly being, seated with the Lord on his throne.
Therefore, Revelation 12:12, a key verse in the Book of Revelation, tells us to rejoice, heavens and those who dwell in them.
Because those who belong to the earth are deceived by false prophets from the earth, they cannot help but receive the number 666.
Let me repeat this. When the Word comes in human form, he is Jesus, the Son of Man.
And when the Word comes into us by the Holy Spirit, he is Christ.
There is no better way to serve God and the Lord Jesus Christ than to hear the anointing dwell within us and to receive him within us.
This is the mystery to have eternal life, abiding in the Son and the Father (1 John 20-25).
Eternal life is attainable because the being raised has already taken place.
The being raised of Jesus is already included in Christ, and he comes to us as the anointing, becoming eternal life.
He died on the cross, rose again, ascended to heaven, and then sent the Holy Spirit.
In that eternal life, we are sanctified by truth, advance to glory through holiness, and become one through glory. When that unity is complete, we will finally love God and love our neighbors, our brothers and sisters, just as the Lord loved us (John 17).
Therefore, in Christ, we cry out for the lack of the Spirit, and we constantly seek, find, and knock for the Holy Spirit.
